Where there is light, there must be darkness. Some people want peace and others want to fight. Some people want to maintain their status, and some want to seize power.
What Bo Chun wants is just to protect his vested interests in Kucha, so the most important thing for him is to ensure his status as the actual ruler of Kucha. As for whether he should be called the King of Kucha, the Emperor of Kucha, or whether he should maintain integrity and serve as a minister.
, the commander-in-chief of all military affairs in the Western Regions, Bo Chun actually didn't care too much, Bo Chun was very pragmatic.
The reason why he has never agreed to the conditions brought by Duan Ye is mainly because he is afraid that he will be detained as soon as he enters the court, and everything will be over. As for the prince being a hostage, it is actually easy to handle. It is not a problem who should be appointed as the prince. His son
Relative to the position of power, it seems that it can be slightly further back.
Although Duan Ye has repeatedly claimed that the Qin Empire is true to its word, His Majesty's benevolence is spread all over the world, and even Murong Chui and Yao Chang can trust him so much. What are you, King Qiuci, afraid of? Jiangyu also repeatedly persuaded Bo Chun, Bo Chun
It can't be said that he is not moved, but if he doesn't fight a single battle and is frightened by a scholar into going to court obediently with just a few words, there is no way he can turn around in his heart.
I felt aggrieved, so I had to drink to relieve my sorrow. When drinking, I had to find someone to accompany me, preferably someone I could trust, so my younger brother Bo Zhen, who had just returned from Khorasan, was found. This good brother had no other interests, so he just
He likes to practice martial arts, and he is very strong. He can fight with warriors, tigers, and camels when he has nothing to do. He doesn't know a few words, and he is usually carefree. Because of this, Bo Chun truly loves this younger brother.
He gave his younger brother whatever he asked for. When his younger brother wanted to marry, Bochun personally made peace with him. His younger brother's house was also the best house in Qiuci City. Bochun was always upset and felt offended in front of his little aunt, so he often came to Bozhen to talk to her.
Although Bo Zhen doesn't talk much, he is really a very suitable listener. As long as Bo Chun finishes complaining in front of his younger brother, everything will be fine.
After three rounds of drinking, Bo Chun was already half drunk, Bo Zhen still wolfed down his food. Seeing his brother eating happily, Bo Chun also remembered many things from his childhood, the happiness and carefreeness at that time.
He couldn't help but sigh and said: "My good brother, it's better for you to be the King of Qiuci. You don't know that my brother has become the King of Qiuci, but now he is forced to have no other choice."
Bo Chun put down his hand to grab the mutton, wiped his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, what are you talking about? What are you afraid of, little Lu Guang? Just say one thing, brother, and I will go through fire and water to take Lu Guang's head!"
Seeing the evil look on Bo Zhen's face, Bo Chun felt warm in his heart. He was still a brother and a compatriot who could be relied on. However, he smiled bitterly and said: "Good brother, please don't say that. I'm afraid we will have to live in the same palace as Lu Guang in the future."
Sir. Besides, you can kill Lu Guang, but the Qin State still has Fulong, Liang Cheng, Quan Yi, Dou Chong, and countless soldiers, horses, money and food, so we can't defeat it."
"Then we have to fight!" Bo Zhen slapped the table, "How can we hand over the inheritance passed down by our ancestors to others?"
Bo Chun did not blame him for being rude. In front of this biological brother, Bo Chun could be himself and not have to wear so many masks. "Well, what will happen if we really fight? My little aunt went to Lu Guang camp to find out what they were doing.
A cart or a boulder weighing a hundred kilograms can be hit a hundred feet away, but a city built with steamed earth is still vulnerable. If we continue to attack, our Qiuci country will be destroyed, and you and I will become prisoners. What good will it do to my wife and children?"
"Then...brother, do you want to surrender?" Bo Zhen was a little dissatisfied.
"It's not a surrender, it's a temporary peace negotiation." Bo Chun drank another drink, "Don't I want to fight? Fight Chechnya, fight Yarkand, brother, when have I ever been timid? But the Han people have a saying, the situation is stronger than the people.
, Lu Guang’s 100,000-strong army is outside, and all the people of Qiuci can only have this number. If we really go on fighting, even if we win, we cannot afford the losses, and we will only be advantageous to those small countries that are standing by and watching."
After drinking another drink, Bo Chun made more sense the more he thought about it, "Let's not fight. Let's conserve our strength and let Lu Guang fight other countries. The Western Region is so big, how long will it take for him to fight? If those countries want to imitate us, we have to
They didn't even have a chance to surrender. At that time, after a few battles, their vitality was exhausted. The Han people's books said that at the end of the strong crossbow, it could not penetrate Lu Zhen. Lu Guang really wanted to fight from Yanze to Congling, and his army still had
How many people are there? Is his food enough? By then...hehehe, it will be time for our Kucha to rise and fall! Who knows, we Kucha will still be able to unify the Western Regions! By then, my good brother, will be
At that time, Wu Gu, Nan Dou, Donated Poison, Gaochang, brother will give you a title! How about it, brother, do you like it or not?"
But Bo Zhen was distracted when he suddenly looked at Bo Chun's eager eyes and smiled: "How dare you, my brother, be worthy of it? I just hope that my brother will give me the beauty of the thing, so that he can collect the tax on salt tea and let you
My good nephew will be satisfied if he can have a rich inheritance."
"Hahahaha." Bo Chun laughed, so the two brothers drank one cup after another. They were about to get drunk, but Bo Chun suddenly asked: "Lü Guang wants me to join the court. I'm afraid it's hard to shirk him.
At that time, Kucha will be handed over to you to supervise the country. My brother will go to Chang'an. It may take eight months or one year as soon as possible. He will definitely come back. If my brother doesn't come back in two years, you will become the lord of Kucha. How about that?"
"Brother, what are you kidding me!" Bo Zhen was furious. "Qiuci will always be my brother's. Bo Zhen will always look after my brother here. If my brother comes back in ten years, I will wait ten years. If my brother doesn't come back, Bo Zhen will
Just help your brother’s son.”
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" After saying hello three times in a row, Bo Chun drank a glass of wine and finally passed out drunk and lay down on the table.
Bo Zhen took a sip of wine, thoughtfully.
**************** "Um, sir, your arm strength... ahem, I mean, you may be too tired recently. This stone bow, in fact, now
It's not a sharp weapon anymore. You should practice your sword skills. The sword skills inherited from humble family members are easier to practice." Duan Ping looked a little embarrassed.
Duan Ye didn't feel it at all. Although his arm and fingers were bruised with bloody marks, he was still very happy. After all, he basically didn't need to use his hands in the future. Now he can barely draw a bow with a stone and can shoot arrows without missing the target. It's already very good.
.
"Okay, as long as your family's special skills can be passed down to others, you will teach them to me. If you can't pass them on to others, uh, if you need to be a disciple, I will be a disciple. If you really can't, forget it." Duan Ye wiped his sweat and said
Seeing the little Yan Sheng holding the teapot, drinking cup after cup, he couldn't help shouting: "Hey, Shen Yan, you didn't touch the tea we brought ourselves last time, but you drank it non-stop when the Kucha people gave it to you.
,What do you mean?"
"Tch, such a big man can't even draw his bow." Sheng Sheng curled his lips in disdain, but ignored him.
Duan Ye blushed slightly, the little monk in front of him was not a simple man. Duan Ye asked Duan Ping and others to teach him martial arts, and he said it seriously. But when he finally got started, he found that Duan Ye was really good at martial arts.
It was not easy to talk about the relationship between seniors, but the little Yansheng couldn't stand it, and he was sarcastic and had no nice words. Duan Ye was so angry that he asked Duan Ping to teach him a lesson. As a result, Yansheng and Duan Ping ended up on a draw, and Duan Ping kept talking about concessions. From then on,
It made Duan Ye look at the little monk with admiration.
At this moment, Zhang Meng came in accompanied by Jiang Yu, who was dressed in plain clothes. Jiang Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Duan Ye in short clothes. However, there was business at this time, so she didn't ask further questions, but said: "Master Duan, please
